1992: Gallup Goes "Daily" With CNN and USA Today

In 1992, during a time of proliferation of national and local polling organizations, The Gallup Organization produced another major breakthrough by forming a polling partnership with CNN and USA Today. This partnership made it feasible to expose the public to polls that were not only accurate but that were also reported on a more frequent (daily) and more comprehensive basis than ever before. Gallup and its media partners helped carry out a new mission for polling, while maintaining the highest ethical standards for public opinion journalism in a democratic society. In the words of Dr. Gallup, "If politicians and special interests have polls to guide them in pursuing their interests, the voters should have polls as well."

Gallup built its own television studio with The Gallup Poll’s Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Frank Newport, as anchorman.

No, Gallup has their OWN AGENDA in this election and to plant seeds of doubt is their job right now--NOT FAIR POLLING! They think if enough people see these rank polls then they will begin to believe them. These are VERY biased polls. Check out how they find their sampling:

" * First we clearly identify and describe the population that a given poll is attempting to represent. If we were doing a poll about baseball fans on behalf of the sports page of a major newspaper, the target population might simply be all Americans aged 18 and older who say they are fans of the sport of baseball. If the poll were being conducted on behalf of Major League Baseball, however, the target audience required by the client might more specific, such as people aged twelve and older who watch at least five hours worth of Major League Baseball games on television, or in-person, each week.

In the case of Gallup polls which track the election and the major political, social and economic questions of the day, the target audience is generally referred to as "national adults." Strictly speaking the target audience is all adults, aged 18 and over, living in telephone households within the continental United States. In effect, it is the civilian, non-institutionalized population. College students living on campus, armed forces personnel living on military bases, prisoners, hospital patients and others living in group institutions are not represented in Gallup’s "sampling frame." Clearly these exclusions represent some diminishment in the coverage of the population, but because of the practical difficulties involved in attempting to reach the institutionalized population, it is a compromise Gallup usually needs to make.

So in other words, they pick a sampling that looks the profile to be republican:eyes:

1. They admit Gallup polls are compromised

They don't count college students in dorms or military personnel on base?

Well...that is another way of saying "our polls are

BULLSHIT!"

But keep publishing them, they fire our side up and make the Puke complacent.

2. Yeah, noticed that...

I realize they wouldn't be polling prisons, but colleges,hmmm...

Their "random" sampling is so biased. If people would just do some research on these polling places:eyes:
